On our way to Tonle Sap, we came across a lotus farm/field/pond. With some little donation, the owner allowed us to walk about to take pictures. And I must say, the scene was simply breathtaking! I've never seen such a large area of lotus flowers before! It's just... WOW lor!
And for those of you who don't know, lotus is one of the main produce in Cambodia, just like palm sugar. That's why you can find lotus tea, lotus seed titbits, lotus-whatever dishes all over the place! Cambodian people use lotus for praying too!
Talk about palm sugar, again on the way, we passed by this woman cooking palm sugar and then putting them into little circular tubes to be solidfied. As a kind gesture, I bought some from her, anyway its a good alternative to sugar to be used in cooking. It is not as strong as gula Melaka, but it gives a hint of freshness.
